You could probably find nice couple year old laptop on ebay somewhere. It won't be perfect, but it probably won't have the circuitry issues.
I suppose I could do, but I'd kinda like something lightweight that I can take with me on the bus everyday, which will help me find the time to finish my script I'm working on, and possibly even a book I'm thinking of writing.
Digging through the developer diary for Creatures creator Steve Grand's new game. Very fascinating stuff all-around. I saw this note in the mess about the norns in Creatures, and I was thoroughly impressed:
One thing that has always intrigued and puzzled me is instinctive behavior. With Creatures I was faced with the problem of how to instill simple instinctive responses into norns, because although I knew how to represent them as rules in the neural network that *I* had designed, I had no way of knowing how their brains might evolve. I couldn't just store the neural wiring pattern in the genes, because if later norns' brains ended up working in a fundamentally different way, the wiring would no longer make sense. In the end I solved the problem (rather elegantly, I thought) by having the genes trigger sensory inputs, force the creatures' brains to behave AS IF they'd chosen a certain behavior, and then inject reward or punishment chemicals into the system. So, for instance, I could temporarily (before birth) make the norn feel bored, trigger the "walk" action as if it had been chosen by the creature itself, and then reward the network for 'making that decision.' After it was born, if the creature got bored (and hadn't learned to overrule this instinct) it was likely to walk somewhere and hence discover a novel object, which it then might learn something useful about. Without that instinct a newborn norn would just stand there until it starved, because it would never even discover that it could have an effect on the world.
You're free to send one of us a PM with a link to the user's profile, but really there's so many inactive spambots (just look at the "who's online" box at any given time), it's probably hardly worth either of our time to deal with them before they post.
That said, I've spent way more time than I should have just taking out spambots who haven't posted yet, so I apparently have no problem whatsoever with losing battles.
Heh, nothing too horrible in hindsight. Just a rough end to a rough week. Easy Saturdays and kind friendly folk make everything seem better, so I'm ready to kick life back into submission. BAM.
*sighs* I don't even care anymore. I'm emo. I've had hot chicks, a chick that literally looked like Megan Fox, honest to jebus. I didn't take advantage of the situation. She has a boyfriend, she talked about him regularly , but she wanted me. She had that look in her eye, that said I want you. And she would dress up for me and show off her body and I would not take the bait. She would dress up and show her goods and flirt with me and bend over for me and shake it and I never did anything about it.
I'm a hell of a guy...*sighs*, I'm emo right now. *sighs*...loser...
I'm a loser, and people don't even let me try to be good at that, why can't I be happy being a loser, even? People just don't let life be easy for anyone.

Well, by old I didn't mean the iBrick from '95. I meant two or three years old. I found some very nice PCs for about two hundred bucks (roughly 100 pounds, I think). Not top of the line, but perfectly functional, airport card, standard weight, etc...
I even found a nearly brand new Mac Book Pro for seven hundred dollars, but the airport card was totally messed up and the auction is over anyway.
So yeah, take a look through ebay. You might very well be surprised with what you find.

This doesn't sound very loserish at all. It shows that you're better than a woman who wanted to cheat on her boyfriend. If anything, I think it shows that you are a good man.
I've been thinking about the upcoming prequel to John Carpenter's "The Thing" a lot recently. As such, here's a tribute to be sung to Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound Of Silence"...
Hello retcon, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a thing softly creeping
Left its seeds whilst I was sleeping
And the bullets that were planted in my brain
They still remain, within the sound of silence
In a dog's form, I ran alone
'Cross the plains of frosty snow
'Neath the halo of a bullet storm
I turn my cheek 'cause that's the norm
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of an M-16
Well, no affect it had upon me
And the rifle fired into the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Twelve people maybe more
People to absorb
And not a single Norge
People to assimilate, to make my mate
People to help me on my way
It's only fair, that I should dare
To leave this planet in silence
"Fools," said I,
"you do not know, my cells;
Like a cancer they do grow
Hear my screech, that I might teach you
Take my tentacles that I may reach you"
But my words, like silent snowflakes fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people did fall and cry
All the while so afraid that they may die
And then my moment finally came
Heated copper to my vein
And as the song said; "The writings on the wall"
And he did call
And then I died to the sound of silence
Sounds like you made the right decision. Seriously, don't worry about the reasons. That would be a little too much Immanuel Kant for everyone. Integrity fits you, leave it at that.
In most cases, "pretty ones" don't get "taken". It is the other way round. And I don't like the idea of getting "picked" that much... so I guess I'm not that much interested in the ones that are generally thought of as "pretty". Thankfully, the ideal of beauty differs greatly in the eye of an artist.
Heh, nothing too horrible in hindsight. Just a rough end to a rough week. Easy Saturdays and kind friendly folk make everything seem better, so I'm ready to kick life back into submission. BAM.
My week sucked eggs, and the next week will start out just terrible, I can hardly enjoy my weekend, and everything's going seriously down just now. Outside's stricken with a sudden cold wind, so I won't be running to relieve the stress today. But I'll only have to work three days next week. That's something. And I'll honestly kick life for sure. I just don't know where to just now.

How come a song that is barely four lines long, is around 15 seconds long, and only contains the four words "I'm not your boyfriend" could be so catchy?

My brother wants to take roids again, he's on creatin now, and is lifting down stairs swearing, and mocking me in my free time for being injured. He's been such a wise ass. He doesn't care how he gets big, he just wants to be big. He wants to take roids.

Went to get a physical done today, and what do I see at the hospital but a duder wearing a "Strong Badia The Free" King of Town propaganda shirt on the elevator. I was going to say something, but the person he was with sounded distraught (hospital, after all), so I said nothing.
So, random Telltale/H*R fan, cool shirt.
EDIT: I'll plotz if one of you actually is that person.
Thrown like a spud in my vast mash
I open my potato eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the pea
Brazing with my gravy.

The intial rage washed off about 5 minutes later.
Anyways you're flying, it's not out til Monday officially in the States, though I hear there's street dates being broken in certain places.
Whassa matter?
Sunday officially in the states, and I checked. All the local stores around me are following that street date:(
I suppose I could do, but I'd kinda like something lightweight that I can take with me on the bus everyday, which will help me find the time to finish my script I'm working on, and possibly even a book I'm thinking of writing.
EDIT:
Nvm I think its in the actual 3DS. XD

le sigh..
I'm not taken.
I said pretty.... ;p
As as shmexilishus as you are, you unfortunately are a dude.
And I need me a dudette....
EDIT: My flamin' max hat and ode to the stuff in the sink book arrived today.
Though the hat is a little too small, I shall NEVER take it off.
(except when I go to bed obviously! XD)
The Poetry book is very good too.
Relatable.
I totally smiled all the way through, mostly because of the song, but a little because of young semi-naked Eric Idle.
Heh, nothing too horrible in hindsight. Just a rough end to a rough week. Easy Saturdays and kind friendly folk make everything seem better, so I'm ready to kick life back into submission. BAM.
Watch it be some unfortunate fellow named Mark E. Ting, who has extremely niche interests.
Because the world likes to play a little game I like to call "Watch the young geek squirm".
Yeah, I don't know either. Had a crush on a girl named Rachel, I found out she had a boyfriend like right before I was going to ask her out.

Oh god I love reading about scams, and the people that fall for them, its just hilarious!
Some of them are just so stupidly obvious, I'm ROFL-ing at the though that people actually fall for them.
The dating ones especially.
You want to be a loser but you can't?
What a loser.
OMG LOGICAL PARADOX
Because it only has four words?
